Dorman 522-953 Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Front Left Lower Rearward
Dorman 522-953 Control Arm Assembly
Dorman 522-953 is a direct replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for specific Audi applications. It is built for the front left lower rearward position and supports smooth ride quality, directional stability, and predictable handling on the road.
Key Features
- Direct replacement for the original equipment control arm and ball joint assembly
- Pre-greased for immediate service
- Aluminum control arm construction with a silver finish
- Ball joint is included and installed
- Rubber bushings included
- Machined ball joint mounting with threaded stud design
- Mounting hardware included
- Light suspension grade type
Detailed Product Overview
This suspension control arm assembly is engineered for Audi A6, A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, RS7, S6, and S7 front left lower rearward applications from 2012 through 2018, with fitment varying by model year. Dorman 522-953 is designed as an OE-style replacement for the original front suspension arm, using an aluminum casting/forged design, rubber bushings, and a pre-installed ball joint to restore proper suspension geometry and steering response. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK622832 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Clunking or looseness from a worn control arm or ball joint
- Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
- Steering wander or reduced directional stability
- Front-end vibration related to worn bushings or joint wear
- Restoring factory-style suspension response after component fatigue
Installation Notes and Tips
Install in the front left lower rearward position only on the listed Audi applications. Verify the mounting hole diameter, ball joint thread diameter, and suspension layout before installation. Because the ball joint is already installed and the assembly is pre-greased, setup is streamlined, but final alignment should be performed after replacement to confirm proper suspension angles and tire wear protection.
Quality Assurance
Dorman uses an evaluation process focused on fit, function, and suspension performance to help ensure consistent ride quality and predictable dynamics. The part is built as a direct replacement for OE-style service on the specified Audi A6, A6 Quattro, and related models.
